Hey Team Liquid!

I need ideas on what to do with a 3d printer. So far I've thought of printing custom board game pieces, and this insane Rubik's cube:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/danec/the-x-cube

There's just so much to do with a 3d printer, but I'm having trouble coming up with cool ideas. I'm definitely gonna print the X-cube and order some stickers for it since it's so awesome. Anyone got even better ideas?

print a 3d printer. this way, you can double your prodcution facilities.

but be careful. machines reproducing themselves is the first step to the world supremacy of the robots.

Print little cannons and medieval siege weaponry, small versions, then fire them at stuff like they are nerf guns.

Get a 3D scanner, then get a parametric model of your dingy and make some great party gifts!

Gem Tactics pieces!
I'm using cardboard pieces.
These are way cooler.

Do you have your own 3d printer? Do you just have access to a 3d printer? What type of 3d printer is it? What are its limitations? I need something printed if you are interested in a custom order.

I have access to a 3d printer at work an we can do whatever we want with it so people have been making cool sculptures and puzzles with it. It's roughly 6x6x6 inches (ill have to get exact dimensions 2mrw). It's a fused deposition modeling 3d printer. I can definitely print something for you if it's one or two jobs.

Someone there is currently building a 1m^3 3d printer, using the small printer to build the parts, which is pretty cool. Looks like robots will be taking over the world soon.

Him and what army? Mwuahhahahahaha...

Just create more 3D Printers dude. The more you got the greater the chance you'll be able to become a multi-millionair with millions of factories making millions of different objects - each and every one created by a 3D Printer.
